Costs
As of 13 December 2007, the costs of ordering the cards is:
- 1 county card-Two unaffixed first class stamps (68p)
- 5 county cards £1.50 (30p/ card)
- England Region A or B £5.20 (roughly 25p/ card)
- Wales £2.10 (roughly 26p/ card)
- Scotland £4.32 (roughly 25p/ card)
- Whole U.K. £15.15 (roughly 23p/ card).
It can be seen that there is notable economy of scale, and that for someone wanting to attempt the whole British Cycle Quest should order all cards at once, also because of the cost to the individual of sending the order form.

Famous quotes containing the word costs:
“Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.—Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“That which costs little is less valued.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
